Chris Evans isn't sweating all those people lashing out about his "Toy Story" inspired film "Lightyear" featuring a same-sex kissing scene between two female characters, because "those people are idiots."
The star made the comments during an interview with Reuters to promote the upcoming Disney-Pixar film.
The scene that has some conservatives in a snit features Uzo Aduba's character, who is Buzz Lightyear's best friend and commander, and an as-yet-unrevealed female character.
For detractors, it's the same old argument: the inclusion of a same-sex kiss is perpetrating an agenda to influence young children.
It was Susman who, speaking with Mercury News, revealed that Disney had been hesitant about the "quick lesbian kiss," though they were supportive of the long-term relationship.
In talking to Variety after the kiss was reinstated into the final cut of the film,
There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before. But those people die off like dinosaurs."
He went on to add, "I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward and embrace the growth that makes us human."
